[Hidden-tech] Apple question re: email

[Rita Muncie]

one of the advantages (for me) with mail is the ability to create  
folders for whatever categories you wish. so I have folders for  
different clients, publications, important information I want to hang  
onto, etc. You can create filters inside mail's preferences to  
automatically flow the messages into appropriate folders. Depending on  
how many messages you get or how far back you need to frequently  
reference, you can archive (or rebuild the mailbox--don't forget that  
does some compression). Then when you need to find something you have  
archived, you can unarchive pretty specifically.
